Lord Duckhunter Posted 1 July, 2018 Share Posted 1 July, 2018 Yeah, should be a red. Not that it would make much difference with a few minutes left. If you attempt to play the mall legally and a penalty is awarded , you haven't prevented a goal scoring opportunity as they still have one from the spot. Deliberate handball is not attempting to play the ball legally, so is still a red. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 1 July, 2018 Share Posted 1 July, 2018 Actually it was a certain goal denied, so the penalty should be without a goalkeeper. I think they do something similar in ice hockey (maybe our Canadian friends can confirm). I'd love to see penalty without a keeper. Someone would miss one one day.

nta786 Posted 1 July, 2018 Share Posted 1 July, 2018 A last ditch tackle has a chance of not being a foul (if made as a genuine attempt). A deliberate handball is always a foul. Oh I see- thanks Although there was certainly a chance that a last ditch tackle such as the one made by that Dane could have been a dirty two footed, threatening one- would that also not be a red?

Yeah, that's the reason there's the caveat that the ref has to judge it to be a genuine attempt to get the ball for it to only be a yellow.

I think it was a grey area here, the defender went through the middle of the attackers two legs so it was always going to be a certain foul, a desperate lunge to stop a certain goal. But it was not that critical anyway since it was in the last couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2018 Share Posted 1 July, 2018 Jeeez, Croatia were so lucky there. Denmark played them brilliantly in the 2nd half and played the better football for me, they just lack a decent focal point really. Don't think they deserved to go out, but never mind. This World Cup is so weird though, in a positive way. Quarter finals so far...

Hamilton Saint Posted 1 July, 2018 Share Posted 1 July, 2018 Wonder if VAR will ever be used to check if the keeper is on their line when the pen is taken. One of the least-enforced rules in football. Indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do something similar in ice hockey (maybe our Canadian friends can confirm). No, if the goalie takes a penalty a skater serves his penalty in the penalty box. Closest is it the goalie has been removed for a skater and an opponent is impeded when shooting into the empty net a goal is given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have penalty shots in hockey when a foul causes the team to lose a goal-scoring opportunity on a breakaway but the goalie stays in the net to face the shooter.

As Ottawa mentions above, it's when a team pulls the goalie and an opposing player is fouled when on a breakaway toward an empty net, then the goal is automatically given, in place of a penalty shot.

Pamplemousse Posted 2 July, 2018 Share Posted 2 July, 2018 https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/which-2018-stars-are-doing-the-best-impressions-of-pele-maradona-and-zidane/ There's a surprising paragraph here England is one of the World Cup’s greatest under-performers since the tournament began, but the Three Lions have managed to get their hands on the trophy once. Bobby Moore captained the side to victory when his country hosted in 1966. Though he was technically a center-back, soccer’s most defensive outfield position, Moore was an all-rounder — he got two assists in the final and completed more passes than anyone on the pitch that day. It’s somewhat unsurprising, then, that his closest 2018 analogue is an offensive right-back — Cedric Soares of Portugal, who maraudes down the right wing and is characterised by progressive passes and dribbles (those that advance the ball at least 10 yards toward the opponent’s goal or into their box) and defensive involvement.

Mystic Force Posted 2 July, 2018 Share Posted 2 July, 2018 I was amazed by the number of terrible penalties and the ones put down the middle. Once apon a time players aimed for top corners because the keeper could never reach it no matter which way they leapt (but risking embarrassingly ballooning it over), then it became all about game theory and right-left out thinking a goal keeper, aiming for the bottom corners, because that way you won't miss. Yesterday was all about putting it down the middle and hoping the goal keeper jumped far enough away from the ball to let it slide in where they were previously standing.
